Does anyone even have the equipment to read these things back? Back of the hand math says you have 60gb of data there tops, I'd have an intern/grunt/whatever dump them to disk images and upload it to S3, file share, or something. Tapes degrade over time and odds are you probably are going to have lots of read errors on those things. If they actually have some kind of value or utility then getting it on to a more stable medium should be a priority otherwise everyone is just lying to themselves.

Yeah, hanging rack was going to be my next suggestion if you're stuck with them. Were these things stored in a climate controlled space for their entire life? The environmental spec for these things is fairly tight on humidity/temp control and they degrade fast outside of it. Maybe try running a test read against a sampling of them and see what the error rate is. If you can prove they are garbage then you might be able to get away with wiping and disposing of them.
